To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, flannel. Ovnson, a

" citizen of the United States 'of l;\ merica, and

-resident-0f Chicago, Cook county Illinois, haveinvented a certain new and useful 1mprovement in Pressing-Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention conteinpla tes a pressing Inachine having a plurality of simultaneously adjustable irons, and having. a shitting table for moving the work from one posit-ion to .anot-h'er below the irons, means being also provided. for bringing the irons and table together, by vertically shifting either the irons ployedfor this purpose.

prises a body frame composed of upright i end members A. and lower connecting mem- I hers B. The spacing blocksb are interposed between the said members 13. and a truss rod or brace b is crossed under said blocks andnttached at'opposite ends by nuts Z) bearing upon the uprights A. The movable bed C comprises four parallel beams 0, the two outer beams being longer than the two in the middle. In this way the two outer beams embrace the uprights A and are guided up and dowh thereby, while the two middle beams engage the inner surfaces of said uprights to prevent endwise displacement of the bed. Thesaid bed G is connected with the frame members B by means of toggles D, which latter are connected for action in unison by a bar (Z. A spring dconnects said bar (Z with the frame A, and the length of said her is such that it engages the frame with one end when the bed is raised and the toggles moved a little past the center. It will also be seen that ,the other end of the bar d engages the Fig. 3 is anthe two mountings being connected y i Specification of Letters Patent. I afiQYQ' QGQ 3,215 15;}?

frame when'i hc bed. is lowered, I'hns the movement of the toggles is'limited in each 1.'ectio11,a1nl the bed. is held in either raised or lowered positions.

Upon the said bed,

and arranged transversely thereoflhm number of slats which are separated} slightly to give open spaces in thetop of the bed. Rods 0 are inserted transversely. in.

the bed, and project from one side thereof;

The table E is of metal, and is mounted. to slide with said rods,and upon-the top of the bed. A hand lover F oi the toggles to operate the some and 1 by raise and lower toe at-i'x held in raised position ends thereof adapted to receive the the cylindric' supporting bar G. T

his hat leveled or brought into correct ,oosi ion relativ to the table. Upon this bai G ere mounted the irons H of any suitable cod Each iron has a. mounting l. by

struction. which it 15 sliui'ngly supported upon the bar G, each mountine' having a set screw and slides in apertures in r (1 Q1 two irons are mounted to 'slide'together on the bar G, and do given different relativepositions. The two irons are connected hyaie mountings, and is held in. adjusted position by the set screws 17. In. this ay the.

s rocket, chain J havin s' rin s Whereb P m. r n 9 the two irons can be rotated together or unison. it wilt be seen that the chem J s divided, ohe pa being; applied-to. one

sprocket wheel rigidly secured to an iron and the other part being appliedto the other sprocket wheel rigidly secured tothe other iron, and thatthefitwo sections of the cha in are connecird by the two springs. In this way the two; sections of the chain and the springs are on: "acted to form one continuous.

connection ward and away from each'other. .A handle K on one of the irons. enables the operator to place the two ironsdn any desired position, and to control them at will.

It will be seen that the bed 0 could be -stationa1-'y,and the toggles connect-ed toraise Hand lower bar-G, Without'departing from -the spirit ofl. in;yention.,- 4 \Vhat Lolaimuijs'fimy invention is:

" 1; In a' pressing.machine, aplurality of iyel ed? irons mounted for; adjustment 'Elnnd' away from each othen'and a us fii clie't chain having springs for connecting said irons,-n s set forth. I L. In machine, a horizontall sliding tab e, ayertically sliding bed carrying the table, ir'ons above the table, means for raising and lowering the bed to bring the fitablel and irons together and separate them, and ieans including a horizontal sup- Qf -porting.harf -for permitting adjustment of the irons lengthwise of the table, by sliding .r'notion on said bar,and means for adjusting I the ends of-the bar;

jiitfi' 3. The combination of irons, a table, a

movable bed supporting said table, means for. connecting said irons, whereby adjust-- jm'ent-of one iron will effect similar adjustment of the other iron, about vertical axes, and horizonta1'ly,toggles for operating said bed, means for limiting the motion of the toggles, and means for operating the toggles.

4. In a pressing machine, a round bar, a plurality of mountings supported upon said bar, adapted to turn thereon, an iron depending from each mounting, and a rod adjustably connecting said mountings.

5. In a pressing machine, a round bar-,9. plurality of mountings supported upon said ar, adapted to .turn thereon, an iron swiveled on each mounting, a rod adj ustably connecting said mountings, and a sprocket connection having springs between the two irons.
